New Delhi, Aug 27 : Former Assam Congress MP Moni Kumar Subba, who is accused in a rape case, has been absconding after the Guwahati High Court rejected his bail petition twice.
A team of Assam Police officials are in Delhi to trace Subba. A combined team of Assam Police and Delhi Police raided Subba’s farmhouse in Chhattarpur in South Delhi on Wednesday and Thursday to locate him.
Subba was accused of rape three months ago and an FIR has been registered in Guwahati against him. After it was medically established that rape had taken place, Subba managed to get bail from a lower court
CNN-IBN had also raised questions about Subba's citizenship after accessing documents which revealed that he is actually a Nepali national, convicted of murder and not an Indian citizen.
A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) report has claimed that Subba is a Nepalese national originally named Moni Raj Limbo, who escaped from the Illam prison in Nepal while serving sentence for murder.
Subba has always insisted that he is not Limbo though his brother and father use the surname. But Subba himself gave his game away.
In an affidavit filed before the Tezpur magistrate's court on October 3, 1985, the politician admitted that Moni Raj Limbo and Moni Kumar Subba were the same person.
A CNN-IBN investigation in March 2006 exposed Subba for lying about his place of birth and hiding his Nepalese identity. The birth certificate is the only document Subba has to prove his Indian citizenship, but the CNN-IBN investigation established that the certificate was a fake and that he was indeed a foreign national.
The certificate claimed that Subba was born on March 16, 1958 in Dabgram, West Bengal but the document itself was issued 40 years later on October 28, 1998. Salil Sarkar, the Registrar of Births and Deaths in Dabgram, confirmed it to CNN-IBN.
